Clinton police officers are looking into what may have caused the accident that killed a Scott County man early Friday morning.

Christopher Strunk, 32, of Oneida, died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, according to information from the Clinton Police Department.

Strunk was a passenger in a vehicle that was T-boned by another car around 7 a.m. Friday on North Charles G. Seivers Boulevard at the north bound entrance to Interstate 75, the release stated. The driver, who officers did not identify in the release, was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for treatment.

The driver of the other vehicle was not injured. That driver was also not identified in the Clinton police information emailed to the newspaper before noon Friday.

“CPD’s accident reconstruction team is continuing to investigate the incident,” the release stated.

Police Chief Rick Scarbrough was quoted as saying, “At this point, it’s too early to release additional information regarding any charges that may, or may not, be filed.”
